Since Tanner's Birthday is in the summer, his class celebrates it with a 1/2 way to your Birthday day. Tanner was so excited! I loved watching him. He got to wear his special birthday hat ALL day and birthday cape. He got to lead everyone in all the activities, pick the songs, and have everyone sing Happy Birthday to him. To see him, you wouldn't have known it wasn't his real birthday.
It was an activity packed day. For starters, they went to the computer lab and got to play games.
Then back to class for snack. Tanner got to bring 'Superman' cupcakes for everyone. He was super excited to announce them.
Off to the library for a fun story and then picking out a new book for the week.
From library to the gym to play on all the gymnastic equipment. Tanner got to lead the lines all day and hold the doors. Who would have thought such a simple thing could bring so much happiness.
Back to the classroom, where the Grade 5's came in. The kids in Tanner's class are paired up with an older kid who reads them some stories. Tanner had a super sweet girl who brought a book that helped teach him to tie a shoe lace.
After the Grade 5's left, the kids got to play in the centres. Tanner got to pick where to go first and select two classmates to join him. He selected the hospital. I was so in love when I rounded the corner and found him in full nurse costume with his birthday hat right on top. Ha ha, love that kid!
What a fun way to spend the day!
Seriously what a great idea! And how lucky are you to get to spend time with him at class!
